PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coating-treated powder obtained by coating-treating a powder with a raw material derived from vegetable oil-and-fat that has no concern about generation of offensive odor with the lapse of time, can be incorporated with a cosmetic, has a very smooth touch feeling and is excellent in water repellency and pigment dispersibility, and to provide a cosmetic comprising the coating-treated powder.SOLUTION: The coating-treated powder is obtained by coating-treating a powder to be treated with a mixture, as a coating-treating agent, comprising 60-90 wt.% of an extremely hardened vegetable oil-and-fat having a melting point of 50°C or higher and 10-40 wt.% of an ester oil agent derived from vegetable oil-and-fat. Preferably, the powder is coating-treated at a temperature 10-20°C higher than the melting point of the extremely hardened vegetable oil-and-fat when coating-treated with the coating-treating agent. The powder to be treated is coating-treated with the coating-treating agent in an amount of preferably 1-15 wt.%, particularly preferably 3-10 wt.%.
